As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold fully steady. Trade activity was moderate on moderate to good demand. A blast of winter swept across the panhandle bringing temperatures down to the 30's and snow fell during the sale. Slaughter cows and bulls sold with a much lower undertone.
